Welcome to 2014! I hope everyone had a great break and enjoyed their time with family and friends over the winter break. Although its nice to have time to relax we must now get back into our routines and schedules... so this week we will begin with new sight words and continue with our Home reading program. Kindergarten students will be introduced to Home Reading program this month, its going to be exciting! We will also try to complete projects that were started before the break!

In Science we will be learning about animals' needs such as shelter and food.
